Creating Metro (Microsoft UI) app for Windows 8 on WPF+C#, I met difficulty with PointerPressed event on a button. Event doesn't happen when i perform left-click (by mouse), but it happens in case with right-click or tap. So what's wrong with that event? for example <Button x:Name="Somebutton" Width="100" Height="100" PointerPressed="Somebutton_PointerPressed"/> The solution is pretty simple: these events have to be handled not through XAML but thorugh AddHandler method. SomeButton.AddHandler(PointerPressedEvent, new PointerEventHandler(SomeButton_PointerPressed), true); I have encountered

I have an application that really makes no sense for snapped view, as the content generally represents A4 pages of information and data collection. Is there a way to disable snapped view for the application, or is the recommended approach to just show the application icon, while in snapped mode? You cannot disable snapped view. Simply just create a new page and navigate to that page if a snap event occurred. You can simply display an image. Window.Current.SizeChanged += (object sender, Windows.UI.Core.WindowSizeChangedEventArgs e) => { ApplicationViewState myViewState = ApplicationView.Value;

I have a ListView and modified it's DataTemplate with 2 TextBlocks . The first TextBlock contains a Heading , the second a Sub-Heading . I style the 2 TextBlocks with different colours. Here's an example of the ListViewItem in Normal view. Here's an example of the ListViewItem in Selected view. So my question is how do I change the Foreground colours of the TextBlocks in Selected views? Hoping to do this in the xaml. I've tried setting different brushes, which work for items that haven't explicitly been styled. Not sure how to handle this scenario. You can use visual states. <ListView>

It appears that filtering an ObservableCollection with CollectionViewSource is not possible in WinRT : See here! I can filter using LINQ , but how do I get the UI to update if changes that affect the filtered data are made? I ended up writing my own class to achieve the desired effect: public class ObservableCollectionView<T> : ObservableCollection<T> { private ObservableCollection<T> _view; private Predicate<T> _filter; public ObservableCollectionView(IComparer<T> comparer) : base(comparer) { } public ObservableCollectionView(IComparer<T> comparer, IEnumerable<T> collection) : base(comparer,

Hi I am creating windows phone 8 app , i want to store huge amount data in my app , i have already completed my windows 8 tablet app using sqlite version for windows 8. my doubt is regarding creating a local datbase in windows phone 8 which is the most reliable one to go with ? option 1:- Working with SQLite in Windows Phone 8: a sqlite-net version for mobile option 2:- linq to sql (Local database for Windows Phone) if i use the option 1 i can easily re-use all my Data, DALC, BIZ layers as it is even in my phone versions (which i already built for windows 8 tablet app). if i use option 2 i

I'm implementing SQLite database in my Windows Store application (WinRT). I want to relation between two tables (1:n) Book (1) - Chapter (n) class Book { [SQLite.AutoIncrement, SQLite.PrimaryKey] public int Id { get; set; } public String Title { get; set; } public String Description { get; set; } public String Author { get; set; } public List<Chapter> Chapters { get; set; } public Book() { this.Chapeters = new List<Chapter>(); } } I get - $exception {"Don't know about System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Audioteka.Models.Chapter]"} System.Exception {System.NotSupportedException} + [System

I try 1000 times, to convert a simple stream (http webresponse) to bitmapimage, but no one tutorial is working in c# windows 8. Example: BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage(); image.SetSource(stream); image1.Source = image; Thank's for all reply. Solution InMemoryRandomAccessStream randomAccessStream = new InMemoryRandomAccessStream(); DataWriter writer = new DataWriter(randomAccessStream.GetOutputStreamAt(0)); writer.WriteBytes((byte[])command); await writer.StoreAsync(); BitmapImage image = new BitmapImage(); image.SetSource(randomAccessStream); Have you tried this?
